11. The New Yorker doesn't know what they're talking about...
...the NeoCons are the ONLY group of individuals that would have benefitted from the story that a Middle Eastern country wanted to buy Niger "yellowcake". That would have supported their false contention that Iraq was developing a pipeline of raw materials to build their alleged WMDs.

Additionally, the Italians have a rightwing government willing to do anything asked of them by the NeoCon Junta in Washington. What better way to ingratiate yourself to FratBoy than to have your intelligence agency fabricate evidence of Iraqi complicity in a Niger-uranium pipeline to the Middle East and leak it to the Italian press.

Now, was the CIA unhappy that this little NeoCon operation was exposed? Heck, no! It's a very minor payback for what the NeoCons did in exposing Valerie Plame and her global WMD monitoring network.

And although Rummy helped create the Pentagon-based OSP, that in no way detracted from the intelligence activities of the CIA. The OSP's major job duty appears to be fabricating as much information as possible to support the illegal war aims of the NeoCon Junta.
